Example This statement makes the window named Control_Panel visible: -- Lingo syntax window("Control_Panel").visible = TRUE // JavaScript syntax window("Control_Panel").visible = true; See also Window ADOBE DIRECTOR 11.0 109 Scripting Dictionary visible (sprite) Usage sprite(whichSprite).visible the visible of sprite whichSprite Description Sprite property; determines whether the sprite specified by whichSprite is visible (TRUE) or not (FALSE). This property affects all sprites in the channel, regardless of their position in the Score. Note: Setting the visible property of a sprite channel to FALSE makes the sprite invisible and prevents only the mouserelated events from being sent to that channel. The beginSprite, endSprite, prepareFrame, enterFrame, and exitFrame events continue to be sent regardless of the sprite's visibility setting. Clicking the Mute button on that channel in the Score, however, will set the visible property to FALSE and prevent all events from being sent to that channel. Muting disables a channel, while setting a sprite's visible property to FALSE merely affects a graphic property. This property can be tested and set. If set to FALSE, this property will not automatically reset to TRUE when the sprite ends. You must set the visible property of the sprite to TRUE in order to see any other members using that channel. Example This statement makes sprite 8 visible: sprite(8).visible = TRUE visibility Usage member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).visibility modelObjectReference.visibility Description 3D property; allows you to get or set the visibility property of the referenced model. This property determines how the model's geometry is drawn. It can have one of the following values: • #none specifies that no polygons are drawn and the model is invisible. • #front specifies that only those polygons facing the camera are drawn.This method is referred to as back face culling and optimizes rendering speed. This is the default setting for the property.
